The Extension |
|
This extension was initially created by Christian Delabos, from the
Claymore magazine, and was then published in Vae Victis Nr 7 of
March/April 1996. I contributed by adding morale and command
rules, as I was working on similar rules at the same period.
A few rules have been edited, others have been added, but
most of the modifications have dealt with the counters to
make them specific. |

The Map |
Standard size map
showing some desertic landscape with a little butte and 3
palm trees. Perfect for knight charges or deployment of
massive forces. This is the second version of this map.
Graphics were enhanced (new terrain and slope aspects,
bilingual texts with improved font, new regular hex grid). |

The counters |
|
|
These
counters have been edited from those of VIKINGS, CROISADES
and CRY HAVOC. They use
the CROISADES format (higher speed for horses, defense armor
and direction arrow for horses).

The following counters have been
created by "Foulque", based on a request I made. Unlike the
other counters in the series, the stances of the healthy
characters and their wounded sides are different, which can
be challenging for gameplay, but looks gorgeous anyway. |
